- Books 44-47 of 2025. I wonder if I can get to 50 in the next week and a half... Thin books with large font? Comic books?🤔 #booksky 📚 #books

- Reposted by Anu McElaThe only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline. It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient. It’s really hard. But there it is.

- Books 39-42 of 2025. This was a really good bunch, I very much enjoyed all of them. Special mention goes to Fishing for the Little Pike (aka Summer Fishing in Lapland) which I absolutely loved, one of the quirkiest and most entertaining novels I've ever read. #booksky 📚 #books

- Arcadian Nights 2025 in the Grand Social last Saturday. I missed the first few bands and the last few bands, managed to see eight bands though which is not bad, also took a lot of poor pictures. #thegrandsocial #badgigpics #punksky

- Books 34-37 of 2025. I bought Daisy Jones few years ago but only got around to reading it now. The two Folklore books I bought from the Halloween alternative market last year. And The Diary of a Bookseller was a delight, will definitely read the other two from him. #booksky 📚 #books #kirjataivas

- Books 29-32 of 2025. The Lamplighters was totally different to what I expected. Hawksmoor was a quick read, whereas The Crimson Petal was a very slow one. Finally there's Johanna Sinisalo's fantasy classic which I finally read as it was recently reissued in English. #booksky 📚 #books #kirjataivas

- Books 20-22 of 2025. Booth and Lessons In Chemistry were both enjoyable and more interesting than I might have expected. Drive Your Plow was also good - I wonder if I can find the movie somewhere online with English subtitles 🤔 #booksky 📚 #books #kirjataivas
